This month we are featuring Teaching Artist and Studio Manager: Laura Imbriano ๐๐
Laura first became involved with ArtMix in 2016 through a service learning partnership with the University of Indianapolis. What started as volunteering in Community Classes quickly grew into multiple roles throughout the organization before she officially returned to ArtMix in 2023 as a Teaching Artist and later become the Studio Manager in 2024.
Laura shares โI loved how open and accepting ArtMix was and I immediately felt like I fit in. The students were amazing and working with them gave me a purpose.โ
As a ceramicist and potter, Laura loves working with clay and especially enjoys throwing on the pottery wheel. Through her time at ArtMix, sheโs also developed a love for hand-building and helping students explore creativity in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Laura describes her teaching style as patient, laid-back, and welcoming, creating spaces where students can learn, explore, laugh, and grow confidence in their artistic abilities.
To Laura, accessible art means removing barriers so that everyone has the opportunity to create: โAnyone can be an artist, and accessibility provides the tools and opportunities to make it possible.โ

We are so grateful for Laura and her creativity, compassion, humor, and dedication to ArtMix! โ๏ธ๐
